I went out Friday after work to meet a buddy camping in the Silver-Skagit valley for the weekend. The logging road in was in the best condition I've seen it in years, with the damage from the '21 floods all rebuilt, with just a few small edge washouts from recent storms, and virtually no washboarding, making for a smooth trip at decent speed. About a km from the turnoff to his campsite, I spotted a small doe on the left side of the road, facing the clearcut to the left. I slowed, expecting her to bolt to the left, but as I got very close, she spun right and jumped in front of me. Had I not slowed first, I would have hit her; as it was I missed by about 1/2 a meter. My buddy had been there all week, and had several deer within a few meters of his camp, both does and bucks, as well as a visit with a skunk, which he was very careful not to spook! We saw no bear sign at all, lots of birds, and even a marmot, which haven't been common in that area in the past. This was my first overnight use of the roof top tent I bought last fall. I had no problem climbing in or out of it, but found the thin mattress very uncomfortable to sleep on. The issue that surprised me was trying to get out of bed in the morning. I found it very difficult to get my 81 year old body to sit up, I had to roll onto my stomach, pull my knees and elbows under me to rise off the floor, then get into a position to unzip the door to climb out. I think I'll have to sell it and look for some other solution for camp nights. In spite of that issue, I really enjoyed getting out with a fellow 'Squatcher for the weekend, and solve the world's problems over a drink around a campfire in the silence of the big timber.

Sooooo ... Bob Gimlin was in on creating a fake P-G film with Roger Patterson? And never said anything to blow up the fraud that Roger had allegedly committed? I've just posted a long-lost and/or little-known 1978 newspaper article with comments from Bob Gimlin. Do these comments sound like a man who owes Roger Patterson, Patricia Patterson, or Al DeAtley any silence about the P-G film if it was, as now claimed, a fraud?

My cousins trail cam on our property. You are a funny looking deer!😜

I'd love to, norse, but the paperwork hassle just to get into the US to hunt, and to bring a harvested animal back into Canada would be more than I care to tackle. I haven't even renewed my passport in decades.

There's an area in BC between Hwy 3 and the US border, east of Manning park, where red and brown phase black bears are common. I've seen several in there over the years, including a sow and cub, both red.

It's interesting that TT concludes the subject in the footage is a human in a suit, and that he hates to debunk old footage. Because he showed the opposite about the subject in the footage in a previous video years ago. Remember his 'Cracking the Bigfoot Code' video from years ago. Just in case someone doesn't, it was mainly about Bob H.'s body proportions compared to Patty. Towards the end, he showed pics of alleged Bigfoot and used pixels to show the figure's arm length and leg length. In this newer analysis, he says the legs of the subject were 30% longer than the arms. Here is a screenshot of what he showed for the figure in the Memorial Day footage in his 'Cracking The Bigfoot Code' video from 11 years ago. He shows the leg length as only 7% longer than the legs, and 'Non-Human Range'. It's hard to say if the blurriness threw off his measurement of the arm length. I wonder if he remembered this while he was doing this newer analysis.

One day my brother and I hiked up to a mountain top above the Rogue River of southern Oregon and about ten acres of it was covered with dry grass that we called the prairie. The land was covered with mounds of dirt and holes built by digger squirrels or even badgers. The grass land was steep and had occasional rocks laying around. I still remember how steep the ground was and can't imagine running down the bumpy land with a furry bigfoot suit and hood without falling and spraining an ankle. I can visualize a bigfoot sprinting across this ground without falling since this is the kind of terrain they can run along chasing deer and elk for survival. A human that spends most of its time on flat concrete sidewalks would risk great injury running over bumpy ground with occasional holes covered with blades of grass that prairies have made by critters. My opinion is this creature is a real bigfoot showing its skill with sprinting across rugged prairie ground in an attempt to out maneuver humans. It's just a one of a kind film the depicts the agility of a speeding Sasquatch.

Cool closeup of "Yogi" A couple of days ago, a homeowner in Mission (Where MagniAesir lives) was swatted by a black bear that he tried to chase away from his sealed garbage shed. The bear charged him, chasing him up his back porch and mauling his arm as he tried to open his door. The injuries are minor, just large scratches, but the Conservation Dept. live trapped the large female yesterday, and identified it as having been involved in other recent problems, and killed it. Two other smaller bears were also trapped, and released out in the mountains, farther from homes.

I remember hearing the same thing. In a video about the footage, the narrator mentioned the runner slipped (I think) and fell on one of his attempts. I'm not certain if he said "slipped", or if it was something else, but he did fall. And he was wearing running shoes that had a rubber sole with a tread.

I got out today for a spring bear hunt, got skunked, but had a very nice day in the mountains NE of Boston Bar, in the Fraser Canyon area. The only game I spotted was a few grouse, which aren't open in the spring, of course. There was some fresh bear scat on my chosen trail, but no bruins in sight. My planned loop route turned into an in 'n' out when I found a large rock slide across several hundred metres of the road about 16 km in. Still a good day in some great country, and beautiful spring weather, so I came home refreshed.

I'm confident it is and that those skeptics have another hole in their feet.
